Halloween H20: Twenty Years Later is a 1998 American slasher film directed by Steve Miner, and starring Jamie Lee Curtis, LL Cool J, Adam Arkin, Michelle Williams, Janet Leigh, and Josh Hartnett in his film debut. It is the seventh installment in the Halloween franchise.
There were claims as early as 1980 that the film at one point was supposed to be called The Babysitter Murders but Yablans has since debunked this stating that it was always intended to be called (and take place on) Halloween.
Halloween, a holiday observed on October 31 and noted for its pagan and religious roots and secular traditions. In much of Europe and most of North America, observance of Halloween is largely nonreligious, celebrated with parties, spooky costumes, jack-o'-lanterns, pumpkin carvings, and the giving of candy.
It is overall a good movie, but should be shown only to kids who know what sex is. There is little to no blood as most deaths are strangulation. If you think they are mature enough to handle it, they probably are.

Yet, the Halloween holiday has its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “SAH-win”), a pagan religious celebration to welcome the harvest at the end of summer, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts.
The word hallowe[']en comes from the Scottish form of All Hallows' Eve (the evening before All Hallows' Day): even is the Scots term for "eve" or "evening", and is contracted to e'en or een; (All) Hallow(s) E(v)en became Hallowe'en.
First, the final-girl-turned-ass-kicking-grandmother kills masked murderer Michael Myers at the conclusion of a lengthy kitchen-set brawl. Then, just to make sure, Strode grinds Myers' body to a pulp in a giant car-cruncher as her fellow Haddonfield residents look on.
So, in essence, Halloween means "holy evening," which makes sense given its Christian ties. Around 1773, the Scots began combining the two words and referring to Oct. 31 as "Hallow-e'en." However, it was Scottish poet, Robert Burns, who put it all together in his 1786 poem, "Halloween," that really sealed the deal.
Halloween evolved from the ancient Celtic holiday of Samhain. Over the centuries, Halloween transitioned from a pagan ritual to a day of parties, costumes, jack-o-lanterns and trick-or-treating for kids and adults.

Parents need to know that this sequel to 2007's Halloween remake is brutally violent, grotesquely explicit, and terrifyingly violent. There are innumerable scenes of killing, and it says a lot about the movie's savagery and viciousness that they're still grim even though it's not particularly well made.
Frequent violence includes multiple stabbings, shootings, and characters shown disemboweled. Bloody injuries are seen, and there are references to rape, torture, and suicide. Sex is implied, though only kissing and over-the-clothes touching are shown on-screen.
More than one quarter of adults believe that children are never too old for the tradition, according to a 2021 YouGov survey. And 46% of parents agreed in a "Today" survey.

“You are never too old!” Aneisha McMillan, of the Halloween Costume Association, told FOX Television Stations. “I live in a quaint little town in Michigan and my kids range from 7 to 24, and all of them will be trick-or-treating.”
